Feast of Jalál
April 9th, 2009
There is one God; mankind is one; the foundations of religion are one. Let us worship Him, and give praise for all His great Prophets and Messengers who have manifested His brightness and glory.
~ Abdu’l-Baha, Abdu’l-Baha in London, p. 20
Today is the Feast of Jalál which is the Persian word for glory. This quote from a talk that Abdu’l-Baha gave on Sunday, September 10th, 1911 at the City Temple in London reflects the Baha’i concept that all of the world’s religions are one. They are all founded on the same truths and the various Prophets and Messengers of God whom have come during the ages should be all be praised as they reflect the glory of God.
